GUIDELINES FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS
IMPORTANT: READ COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION. INSTALL AS
RECOMMENDED; OTHERWISE, THE UNIT MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND ANY WARRANTY,
WRITTEN OR IMPLIED, WILL BE VOID.
REVIEW CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: Check Shop Drawings, Installation Instructions, Architectural
Drawings, and Shipping Lists to become thoroughly familiar with the project. The Shop Drawings take
precedence and include specific details for the project. Note any field verified notes on the Shop Drawings
prior to installing. The installation instructions are of a general nature and cover most conditions.
CHECK ARRIVING MATERIALS: The system is fabricated specifically for your order and shipped with all
necessary components. Not included are screws, bolts, shims, etc. to anchor the unit to the rough opening.
The frame includes compensation channels for jambs, top tracks. Flush Sill models do not include Sub Sills.
Compensation Channels and Flush Sills are shipped long for field cutting. All other frame components are cut
to size. Frame is to be assembled during installation. Panels are factory assembled with or without glass. In
most cases, all hinges, weather stripping, multiple locking, and flat handles are factory installed to the panels
and frame components. Some loose parts will be shipped separately. Be sure to locate and store in a safe
place until needed.
Upon receipt, inspect the shipment to ensure it is in good condition and all components are included. Ensure
system configuration and size match initial order and included Shop Drawings. Note that Shop Drawings are
viewed from interior.
INSTALLATION: The installation of the Palisades System requires a working knowledge and experience
in the use of tools, equipment and methods necessary for the installation of aluminum doors, windows,
storefronts and/or partitions. This practice assumes a familiarity with preparing a proper and structurally
sound opening, proper anchorage, waterproofing, caulking and sealing and assumes an understanding of
the fundamentals of building construction that affect the installation of large aluminum door systems. Use a
trained installer with experience in installing these kind of systems. Precise measuring equipment should be
used during installation. All materials are to be installed plumb, level, and true.
BUILDING CODES: As regulations governing the use of glazed windows, doors, storefronts and/or partitions
vary widely, it is the responsibility of the building owner, architect, contractor or installer to insure that
products selected conform to all applicable codes and regulations, including federal, state and local. C.R.
Laurence assumes no obligation or responsibility whatsoever for failure of the building owner, architect,
contractor or installer to comply with all applicable laws and ordinances and safety and building codes.
SURROUNDING CONDITIONS: For better performance it is recommended that all dead loads such as upper
levels, roof, etc. be constructed before a unit is installed. Any exterior system should be installed under an
overhang, or with other similar protection.
Properly flash and waterproof around the perimeter of the opening, especially at the sill. Make sure you seek
proper professional advice for the appropriate construction needed for your particular application. Do not
install unit in structures that do not allow for proper management/drainage of moisture.
A qualified engineer or architect should be used to determine the proper construction details and header to
be used in your particular application. Customer is responsible to check to comply with applicable codes for
maximum gap space allowed, especially in high wind areas, and correct opening size.
IMPORTANT: Because of the large opening sizes and the weight and movement of the panels, any
application should take into consideration the following:
The structural integrity of the header is critical for proper operation. Vertical deflection of the header under full
live and dead loads should be the lesser than 1/16”. Structural support for lateral loads (both wind load and
when the panels are stacked open) must also be provided.
HANDLING MATERIALS: Store in a clean and dry location and protect against defacement or damage,
especially to the edges of panels. It is important that during the construction phase the unit be kept closed,
covered and protected from damage. During this phase, a unit is often subject to the most extreme conditions
from all types of construction operations that can permanently damage and destroy it. A unit can be damaged
by cement splatter, tar, paint, weld splatter, falling objects, construction dust, sand blasting, etc. Do not use
the large opening of an installed system for easy ingress and egress by tradesmen.

surface in the position they are to be installed. Dry fit the parts, double check measurements against your
opening and inspect for damage. NOTE: For orders with multiple units, do not mix and match panels and
frames, even if two units are exactly the same.
If you notice damaged or missing parts, or have any questions, please contact the C.R. Laurence Technical
Sales Department immediately at (800) 421-6144. Refer to the order number shown on your Packing List.
NOTE: Doors Will Not Function Properly if Any Part of the Main Frame is Not Level and Plumb or the Top
and Bottom Roller Track are Not Perfectly Aligned.
IMPORTANT: It is critical to install Top Compensation Channel and Sub Sill level and plumb. Ensure the
Raised Sill, Jambs and Top Track are installed level and plumb. Align Top and Bottom Roller Tracks.
Check Small Parts Before you begin, check to ensure
Check Packing List to determine which parts are required for your
installation. Locate and store loose parts in safe place until needed. nothing is missing or damaged. Lay

SITE PREPARATION
Check the Rough Opening
Verify that the rough opening is square and plumb as possible. Compensation Channels for use at head
and jambs are supplied with your order to assist in problematic openings. We recommend installation of
Compensation Channels to a maximum of 1/4” (6 mm) out of plumb or level. If opening is out more than this,
these Channels should be shimmed to be within this maximum.

confirm proper height. to confirm proper width.
Verify Floor and Header Condition
The floor and header surface of the rough opening should be clean and in good condition. For better
performance and protection, any exterior system should be installed under an overhang, or with other similar
protection.
Flush Sill configurations require a recessed groove in the floor. Ensure it is straight and level. For exterior
installations, a trench drain is required for proper drainage. A completely weather-tight seal is not possible
with this sill and some air/water infiltration will occur.
Raised Sill configurations attach directly to the floor. In exterior applications the Sill must be level for proper
drainage.

DOOR GLAZING
Your Palisades Door System has been engineered for a specific size glass panel. Review your Shop
Drawings to determine the correct dimensions.
Determine Bracing Direction
The glass panel acts as a structural element of the Palisades Door so proper installation is crucial. To hold
the door square and avoid sagging, brace the glass diagonally. Refer to diagram below and position shims
in bracing locations to distribute weight to hinge side where it is supported. Then install shims at spacing
locations to provide rigidity and prevent glass movement.
IMPORTANT: Glass is a structural part of the Palisades Door System so proper installation is essential.
Correct bracing is required for proper door function. Observe glass fit and bracing location for each door.
NOTE: Flat Shims are combined with Corner and Side Shims to properly space and brace glass in frame.
Use included Shims only. Corner Shims are factory installed.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The Palisades System must be correctly installed or it will not function properly, causing abnormal
stress on components and lead to premature failure.
Your system should be easily operated. The doors should not bind or drag on the floor and locking points
should engage smoothly. When the doors are closed, the reveal between panels and head, and between
panels and sill should be consistent with no daylight seen from the inside.
As soon as you notice any problems, have them corrected by a qualified technician. A qualified technician
may need to adjust the system periodically to compensate for any building movement or settlement.
Proper Operation
Panels should be opened and closed in the proper order and manner shown in the Operation section of this
manual. Locking points should be gently opened and closed and not forced. If force is necessary, contact a
qualified technician to adjust your system.
General Maintenance
Routine maintenance is required to maintain the appearance and safe operation of your system. Wash and
inspect your system on a regular basis following these guidelines. Have a qualified technician replace worn
or damaged components or perform any necessary repairs.
FRAME PERIMETER: Check the top track for signs of deflection or bowing in the middle. It should have little
or no sag as you look down the length from one end to the other. Tighten and replace fasteners as needed.
Inspect the exterior perimeter seal. Replace old, loose caulking and seal any gaps with a good quality
sealant.
TOP TRACK: Inspect inside the top track for debris. Small obstacles can damage both the track and rollers,
resulting in rough or noisy operation. Clean the inside surface of the track with a small brush or damp cloth
and vacuum cleaner fitting.
BOTTOM TRACK: Remove debris and other foreign bodies that have dropped into the sill track immediately
to prevent damaging the guides. Ensure all weep holes are clean and clear of any obstructions. Do not allow
standing water in the track.
ALUMINUM COATING: Exposed surfaces should be cleaned regularly. Wash with soap or mild detergent
and warm water followed by rinsing with clean cold water and wipe dry. Do not use aggressive alkaline or
acid cleaners. Any chips or scratches must be repaired immediately with proper touch up paint.
GASKETS: Check gaskets for proper seating and condition. Remove dust and any deposits from gaskets
and lubricate with a silicone spray applied to a soft cloth.
ROLLERS, GUIDES, BRACKETS AND HINGES: Wipe exposed surfaces with warm soapy water and a
soft rag, and then rinse clean and wipe dry. Apply Cat. No. SP295 Dry Lubricant to all surfaces and remove
excess with clean cloth.
HARDWARE: All hardware, hinges and handles should be periodically cleaned with a soft cloth and mild
cleanser. Rinse clean and wipe dry. Ensure all fasteners are tight and in good condition.
FREQUENCY: These maintenance procedures need to be performed as often as necessary to prevent
deterioration in the installed environment. As a guide, if a window or door requires washing then wash and
inspect the hardware. At the minimum we recommend washing and inspecting your system every 6 months in
general environments and every 3 months in marine and industrial environments.
Environments within one mile of a seacoast can be extremely corrosive and extra care should be taken to
maintain your system. Open and close completely a system at least once a week and inspect all surfaces.
Do not allow salt or sand to build up on surfaces. Wash and inspect your system at least once a month, more
frequently as needed.
